The Half Life 2/Half Life 2 Beta topic

[BDX]

Atleast the Opposing Force 2 mod will use some of these dropped enemies as well as the indie game conscript.

Is Mr. Friendly in it?

Mr. Friendly would have added that much more surrealism to the aliens on Xen/Black Mesa. Mostly for the rape part. It would appeal to psychological fears, especially for its time. Kinda like Alien. H.R. Giger designed xenomorphs to be all weird with love because it grosses us out but adds to the overall atmosphere.

u kno u want it

Anyways, back to Half Life 2's Beta..

This is concept art of City 17. Honestly, I think City 17 would've looked a lot more cooler and all being an eastern-coast like city based off of Washington D.C.

I mean, just look at the funky citadel -



And then the funky elite unit -

Reminds me of Blade Runner, I like it.

Everything in the beta ties back to stuff like this. Alien and Blade Runner. They borrowed a lot of style and design from them.

I kinda liked Half Life 2 the way it was and I'm personally glad that some things in the beta never made it in.

the thing in the far side is called the mortar or something

Both seem cool, but also pretty inactive.

So did Black Mesa, for quite a long time.

Yeah, I do too, I just wish they also somehow released the beta (finished and polished up a bit of course) as like an extension or something, but I know that'll never happen. I'm just interested in what Half Life 2 WOULD'VE been like and I also liked the way it looked.

Did anyone forget the original story.

In HL2 Beta, you go on the Borealis and Valve made us wait for it back in game till we all die.
